## Feature Set

### Licensing & Activation

* Activate/deactivate licenses from the UI.
* **Offline/Air-gap:** UI generates request files for activation and deactivation; process works without internet access.

### Synchronization

* Cloud sync runs on a **customizable schedule** or **manually**.
* Sync updates local state (e.g., **consumption totals**) and fetches remote changes.

### Floating Users (Offline)

* All licenses on the Floating Server are **offline floating**.
* Machines/users/containers can **register** as floating users; they can **unregister** or **borrow time** (if the license allows borrowing).

### Consumption-Based Licensing

* Users can **consume** usage on consumption licenses.
* New **consumption values** are stored locally and synced to the cloud on schedule or on manual trigger.

### Features

* A license may expose **multiple features**; users can register for them.
* Features can themselves be **consumption-based**.

### Bundle Licenses

* **Complete bundle support**: activation, deactivation, and synchronization. Post-activation, full functionality is available for all licenses contained in the bundle.

### Roles & Access Control

* **RBAC:** Admins vs. Users.
* Admins can add/deactivate licenses, unregister users, and manage admin/user accounts.

### Platforms & Deployment

* **Windows**, **Linux**, and **Docker** supported.
* SQLite for quick starts; PostgreSQL recommended for production.
